Our Drain Services
Every drain job we take on sits under one of these six services on our drain services page:
Blocked toilets
Toilets that back up, fill high or overflow get cleared fast, with the cause tracked down afterwards, whether it is one pan inside or the whole line out at the boundary.
Blocked sewer
The sewer line from your place to the Urban Utilities main, with roots, silt and paper cleared out of it before the line backs up into your house or yard.
Blocked stormwater
Downpipes, yard pits and gully grates that flood whenever it rains hard, traced back to the blockage and cleared so the yard sheds water the way it should.
Drain cleaning
Kitchen, bathroom and laundry sinks, plus showers and floor wastes running slow, cleared with jet blasting or an electric eel and left flowing freely again before we go.
CCTV drain inspection
A camera pushed through the pipe shows precisely where the trouble sits and what caused it, so the fix targets the right section of pipe the first time around.
Drain repairs
Broken, cracked, root-damaged or collapsed pipes fixed on your Ferny Grove block, either dug out and swapped for new pipe or relined when that suits the job and the ground.
Why Ferny Grove Drains Block
The estate years left this suburb leafy, hilly and full of older drains, and that mix shows up in the blockages we clear.
Tree roots in rubber-ring joints
Street trees and reserves that arrived with the estates push roots into the joints of house drains, worst on the streets that sit near the creeks.
Silt settling on the flat
On the steeper streets, drains move fast enough to carry solids away, but where a lot flattens out at the end, paper, wipes and silt drop out and build up.
Leaves smothering the grates
Debris shed by the trees along the bush strip blankets gully grates and yard pits as soon as a downpour starts, and the trapped water backs up into the lot's drains.
Benched hillside pads settling
Drains laid across cut-and-fill pads on the phyllite hills can sag into a low spot over the years, and water sits in that sag until it clogs.
Drain backing up right now? Three quick checks:
- Sewage or dirty water coming up through a shower, floor waste or outside gully: stop using taps, toilets and the washing machine, keep children and pets clear, and call (07) 3067 4107.
- Every drain in the house is slow at once: the blockage is probably in the main line, so hold off flushing and call (07) 3067 4107 so the plumber can find where it sits.
- Only one sink or shower is slow: stop pouring anything down it and book a visit, because one slow drain on its own is rarely urgent.
How to Tell a Drain Is Blocking
Catches it early and the fix is usually simple. These are the signs we hear about on the phone:
Gurgling from the toilet or floor waste
air squeezing past a partial blockage, usually roots or paper building up in the line.
More than one fixture slow at once
the problem sits in the shared sewer line, not the individual trap.
Water pooling around a yard gully or pit
the stormwater line is blocked downstream, often with leaves or silt.
A wet or sunken patch in the yard
a leaking or collapsed pipe below, which can turn into a full blockage.
What the Price Depends On
No two drain jobs cost the same, and the quote you're given reflects what's actually involved. These are the factors that move it:
How easy the section is to reach
A gully next to the driveway is a quicker job than a line under a Ferny Grove bathroom slab or a benched backyard.
Depth and pipe material
Deeper lines and older materials take longer to reach and work through.
What caused the blockage
Paper and silt clear quickly, while a root mass or a collapsed pipe needs more time and often a repair.
Whether a camera inspection is needed
Where the culprit stays hidden after clearing, a CCTV drain inspection pinpoints it before anyone digs.
When we're not the right call: a blockage in the sewer main itself belongs to Urban Utilities, not to you or to us, and reporting it to the authority is the correct move.
Stormwater and the Creek Flats
Runoff is the story here, not the river. Kedron Brook and Cedar Creek both wind through the suburb's flats, and the November 2008 storm put local drainage to a serious test.
Council flood mapping keeps the 2022 creek flood extent to a small handful of homes, mainly around Samford Road, Hogarth Road, Beech Street and Upper Kedron Road. The everyday problem is smaller and closer to home:
- Roof and driveway water off the steeper streets pouring down onto lower properties when there is no piped path for it.
- Blocked stormwater lines holding that water back until the yard goes under.
If your yard floods while the rain is still falling, the stormwater line is the first place to look.
Areas We Service
We cover Ferny Grove itself plus the adjoining suburbs of Ferny Hills, Keperra and Upper Kedron. The same plumbers run the same services across all four, so a blocked drain just over the boundary gets the same response.
How a Drain Job Runs
Every drain job follows the same four steps, whether it's a single blocked toilet or a flooded yard.
- 1
Describe the drain
On (07) 3067 4107, run through which fixtures are slow, gurgling or overflowing, so the plumber on the way knows where to start.
- 2
You approve the price
We show you the cause, talk through the fix and give a fixed upfront price, and work begins only when you are happy with it.
- 3
Open the blocked section
We clear the stuck section using an electric eel or jet blasting, working in from the access point closest to it so the rest of the line stays untouched.
- 4
Proof it's clear
We test the drain with running water until it flows freely and show you the result before leaving the job.

Drain FAQs
Call (07) 3067 4107What drives the price of clearing a blocked drain?
How easy the blocked section is to reach, how deep the line runs, what actually caused it and whether a camera look is needed all feed into the quote, which is settled before we touch a tool.
Can you get to a blocked drain the same day?
Yes, same-day where we can. A call in the morning usually means a plumber at your drain that afternoon, though a stubborn job may need a camera look before the fix is chosen.
Who owns which pipe when a drain blocks?
The house drain up to the connection point is the owner's responsibility, while the sewer main beyond it belongs to Urban Utilities, which covers most of the suburb.
What should never go down the toilet or sink?
Wipes, paper towel, sanitary items, cotton buds, cooking fat and coffee grounds should never go down, because none of them break down and all of them settle where a drain run flattens out.
How do you find what is causing a blockage?
We start with the fixtures that are slow or gurgling, clear the line, and where the culprit stays hidden we send a camera through the pipe to see it before recommending a fix.
How do I book a plumber for a blocked drain?
Ring (07) 3067 4107, describe which fixtures are slow or overflowing, and you will get the full price in writing before anyone starts, with same-day service where we can.
